4 Reasons Why You Should Support Your Local Farmers

It’s safe to say that demand for organic food products is rising, and it’s clear to see why. The avid health benefits, increased freshness, and reduced chemicals make organic food a great option for health-conscious consumers. 

Buying local and supporting the organic producers within your community is a great way to give back. Today we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of supporting organic, local farmers and why you should consider making the switch.

Unmatched quality:

You just can’t beat the freshness of fresh produce that has come directly from local suppliers. This is as close to picking the fruit from the tree yourself as you can get and allows you to experience the unmatched quality of locally sourced produce. 

Local suppliers care about the community and work hard to provide organic, fresh, quality produce for citizens to enjoy. The food you purchase from your local suppliers is often harvested only one or two days before. No preservatives, chemicals, and other additives are used to prolong the freshness of local produce – it’s as fresh as it gets!

Looking for fresh, natural ingredients but don’t have the time to traverse your local markets looking for high-quality produce? We work with a range of local, organic producers throughout North Texas to deliver high-quality, fresh, locally-sourced organic produce to you. 

Zero nasty chemicals and preservatives: 

Organic food doesn’t use chemicals and preservatives, keeping your body safe from harmful chemicals. The toxins, pesticides, and other chemicals used in the food industry wreck havoc on the environment and are bad news for local wildlife. 

By choosing organic, you’re choosing to eat for a healthier you. Working with local suppliers helps protect the sensitive ecosystems that support our local communities and keep your body free of nasty, no-good chemicals. 

Supports your local economy: 

North Texas is home to various agricultural sectors, including cattle farms, fresh produce, milk, and cotton. The agricultural industry is vital for our local economy, with Texas generating over $20 billion in cash receipts from this industry throughout 2020. 

By choosing to work with local suppliers, you’re choosing to give back to your community. Your support helps your farmers develop their land, order new crops, and come back for a successful harvest next year. 

Here are some of the benefits of buying local:

• Money that goes into the local economy is often spent in the local economy, and this means you increase the wealth of your community.
• Allows farmers to earn fair wages for their produce.
• Encourages sustainable, ethical farming practices.
• Improves the quality of produce.

Because of this, we’re committed to building and working with a network of sustainable, ethical farmers who believe in using eco-friendly farming practices.
